The 5th Omega Company Swarm System

The 5th Omega Company Swarm System is a roll system most often utilized for large scale combat situations, such as battlefields, or for situations where a few stands against many, such as a squad of troopers ambushing a large group of gangsters. While not necessarily a mechanically perfect representation of the scope of your character’s abilities, it is used to streamline large or chaotic battles where more intimate roll systems would bog down the mission and make less fun for more people. However, it is ultimately up to the Dungeon Master (DM) to determine what does and does not count as a situation where the Swarm System is applied on their missions. They may also choose to add other buffs, debuffs, or situations which may require rolls beyond these, which will be explained by the DM in the moment. General Disclaimer: All rolls are d20 based for mission actions, story rolls, or dueling. The Dungeon Master (DM) may specify rolls are needed for a specific action during the course of a mission, and rolls are typically required during combat.

Note: Troopers will be forgoing their usual equipment and weapon modifiers in this system for simplicity at the discretion of DMs.

Combat Form Ability Bonus by Proficiency:

As used in combat, whether it be boss type battles or Swarm type battles. These numbers may be further augmented using one of your available Augment Abilities that your character has learned, as listed below. Some Combat Forms are more inherently capable during a mass combat situation. As such, some of the following forms have been highlighted in Green. While using any of these Combat Forms during a Swarm type battle, as long as you are of Intermediate proficiency or above in it, you may roll with advantage on your d20 roll instead (roll 2d20 and take the highest number rolled). This condition, like all others, may be subject to DM discretion given modifiers applied to each fight as they come.

Note: Do not add the Roll Modifier bonus if utilizing a Force Ability, Force Form, or Combat Form (bonus does not stack). Rolling above a 20 in combat does not guarantee an auto hit. It is quite plausible for others to roll above a 20 in defense.
